05 ctd, ROUGH idle and smoke at start up
i went to start my truck thsi morning and it was idleing really really rough, the truck was shaking hard. and white smoke was puffing out the pipe. i turned it off asap checked the oil to see if maybe i had fuel in it and did not notice but the dipstick read normal. started it back up, put it into high idle and after a minute it went away???
oh yeah the CEL did not come on, but i do have a 0237 code that has been there for about two weeks. and dont know why.
i should also add that my attitude monitor freezes up on occasion turning the chip back to stock
does anybody know where i can start looking for a problem??????

i imagine if it was something mechanical it wouldnt quit doing what it did
Mine has done that before. Two bad injectors. It still did it after a reflash and two new injectors. I ran half a bottle of Howes Meaner Power Cleaner in one tank and a quart of 2 stroke in the next, ran it really hard and the problem is gone. I don't know if I had dirty injectors or what. I'm starting to suspect ULSD as the culprit because it still smoked a little with the Howes and went away completely with the 2 stroke. Not enough lube in the fuel I guess.
